New NSK Large Size NSKHPS™

Large size NSKHPS™ spherical roller bearings with 25% higher dynamic load rating With the NSKHPS™ series, NSK has developed spherical roller bearings that offer twice the lifespan and a limiting speed that is up to 20% higher compared to conventional spherical roller bearings. Thanks to their improved wear resistance under high speeds and high mechanical […]

Selection of Bearings for Pumps and Compressors

Pumps and Compressors are used in a wide range of process industries where requirements are for bearings offering long life in order to increase Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). Downtime in production processes leads to huge costs and loss of productivity. At the same time, Pump and Compressor manufacturers are looking for more compact machines […]

NSK K1-L lubrication unit boosts linear guide operation

For users of linear guides who want to ensure long-term, maintenance-free operations, NSK can offer its newly developed K1-L lubrication unit. Providing enhanced lubrication capabilities over its predecessor – the K1 (launched in 1996) – NSK’s new-generation K1-L also contributes to preserving the environment by cutting resource and energy consumption through longer service life, lower […]

New Robust spindle bearings from NSK suit high speed, high precision machine tools

At EMO 2019 NSK presented its new Robustride cylindrical roller bearings for the spindle drives of high speed, high precision machine tools. These advanced bearings feature an optimised cage that facilitates more even lubricant distribution, which in turn reduces bearing wear, especially under high loads. Also launched at the show were NSK’s Robust angular contact ball bearings with improved accuracy […]
